Title: Dinosaur Jr.'s Gee-tars Done Got Stole

What the fuck is wrong with people?  Stealing a band's instruments is fucking evil, but stealing a bands' 40 years old Fender Jazzmasters while they're on tour is on another level.  The only bigger tools than the guys who broke into the trailer are the pawn shops that attempt to move these guitars.

That's bad. It was worse when it happened to Sonic Youth though.

I think it's funny how J and Murph look MUCH older while Lou still looks more or less the same as he did in the early nineties.

I can't remember any metal band ever getting their shit stolen.

Maybe Deicide should hire out their roadies to stand around indie bands equipment on tour and look mean.

It happened to The Decemberists last year too, also while they were on tour.  They had a massive benefit to raise money to replace their instruments.  Happily in the end someone found a whole bunch of their more unusual (and unmarketable) instruments literally ditched on the roadside.

Mastodon got some of their shit stolen when they visited Denmark a few years ago. Most notably Brent's fucking sexy Silverburst Flying V. It seems he's got it back now though.

I think McLusky got EVERYTHING stolen, recording equipment, amps, everything on one tour.  Five grand of stuff.  Was it around 2003? I can't remember.

suddenly forgotten how much they hated each other.


Actually, the hate, which was only between Lou and J anyway was dealt with and forgotten sometime in the 90s. They're cool now.

Music piracy is getting worse every day, it seems.

Poor Dinosaur. I just saw them last night...they had to play on 'very special' (to quote Lou) instruments that were done in a flower motif.
